Road of No Return

I walked a line through dust and flame,

Carried my sins, ain't proud of my name.

A Bible in one hand, a bottle in the other,

Searched for peace, like a runaway brother.

The train kept rollin' past midnight towns,

Faces I loved kept leavin’ or drownin’.

A ring of fire burned deep in my chest,

I was lookin’ for hell when I needed some rest.

---

I’ve been down roads with no return,

Where the bridges break and the lessons burn.

Through the blackest nights and the pouring rain,

I found my soul in a world of pain.

---

I met a man who mirrored my face,

Said, “You can’t outrun your own disgrace.”

So I threw that bottle in the river wide,

And prayed for grace I could wear with pride.

My boots still echo on that broken track,

But I ain’t lookin’ no more back.

I got scars like maps and songs like scars,

Tried to outrun the dark, now I dance with stars.

---

Yo, I came from a place where the cold never fades,

Mom’s cryin’ in the kitchen, bills never paid.

Pain on my tongue like a loaded clip,

Every rhyme I spit, man, that’s how I grip—

Reality, casualty, battle inside,

Cash taught me to walk while I swallowed my pride.

Had to stitch my regrets with these syllable threads,

Now I bleed on the page so my demons stay dead.

A rebel in rhythm, redemption in rhymes,

Wrote my salvation one bar at a time.

This journey’s a beast, but I made her my friend,

From the gutter to grace, man, this ain’t the end.

---

I’ve been down roads with no return,

Where the bridges break and the lessons burn.

(spokenl)

But I kept movin’ — couldn’t stop, couldn’t turn.

Burned by the truth, still I had to learn.

(Together)

Through the blackest nights and the pouring rain,

We found our souls in a world of pain.
